Good on you and anyone else who's willing to help confront this onslaught.Chino Blancohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17089075247725625711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6868427952406824616.post-55400548876536341342008-10-10T04:35:00.000+08:002008-10-10T04:35:00.000+08:00Beautifully stated, Natalie. Now I have ANOTHER hero! Forward that to all your California LDS friends.

However, my concern for the issue, my deep love of the LDS Church, and the serious consequences of this campaign for my gay brothers and sisters in the Gospel compels me to write this message. I am firmly against the Proposition, and ask only that you realize the potential pain you are inflicting on individuals.<BR/><BR/>You may see some higher cause in your actions... but is the end worth the means? Is the protection of your personal definition of marriage worth the depression, trauma, loneliness, deprivation, and ostracization of so many others?<BR/><BR/>I am pained that members of my church are behind this. My church, which proclaims &quot; that the civil magistrate should restrain crime, but never control conscience; should punish guilt, but never suppress the freedom of the soul&quot; (D&amp;C 134:14), and that &quot;We claim the privilege of worshiping Almighty God according to the dictates of our own conscience, and allow all men the same privilege&quot; (Article of Faith, 11). My church, which suffered so poignantly for its own right to define marriage according to its beliefs and conscience. My church, which has always taught me that family is the most important thing on earth, and that we should love our fellow men at all times.<BR/><BR/>Please, consider the devastating consequences of your actions. They affect real people, with real families. Who can blame them for feeling hated and friendless in a society such as the one you wish to foster?<BR/><BR/>Sincerely,<BR/>________________<BR/><BR/><BR/>Thanks for the info.Nataliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07522500941694896965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6868427952406824616.post-10868728563331217852008-10-04T06:24:00.000+08:002008-10-04T06:24:00.000+08:00Dude - You're my hero!<BR/><BR/>Great stuff.Tomhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03139711818373541945noreply@blogger.com
